After the 'Action Statement' endorsed at the ICM International Congress in the Hague, 1987, West African midwives initiated, in collaboration with the ICM, a Regional Workshop to enable midwives in W. African countries to implement the statement in their region. A one week workshop was held in Accra, Ghana, 16-21 January, 1989, and involved 5 countries: Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria, Sierra Leonne, and The Gambia. The Rockefeller Foundation contributed significantly to the funding of the Workshop.
